Acton & Chelsea families - Norris, Henbery and Sharpin - Chelsea
Hi - My g-g-grandfather John Sharpin Norris was born 1826 in Bond St London but lived in Bury St Chelsea. His siblings, Charlotte Lain Johnson Norris b.1824; William Charles Norris B.1832; Martha Caroline Herbert Norris B.1835 were all born at Bury St. Chelsea. Charlotte married James George Henry Hancock in 1847 & had at least 3 children. Their parents were John Norris B.1802 at Acton (son of John & Martha Norris, also of Acton) and Charlotte Henbery married in Chelsea in 1823. I have not been able to locate any birth details for Charlotte - also cannot, as yet, make the connection with Robert Henbery. However following details (including the Sharpin middle name) certainly suggest a family connection, possibly brother & sister? William Sharpin Henbery b.1812 to Robert & Ann Henbery. William's daughter Emma B.1849 later listed on 1881 census as Martha Norris's cousin. Both cousins were bonnet cleaners & living in Chelsea. There seems to be quite a few Henberys located in the Middlesex area, as well as a few Sharpins. Any information regarding any of the families (especially helping me to make the connection) would be appreciated thanks! Val
